Plantagenet's Concealed Crowbar

A heavy steal bar, roughly two feet in length with a hooked end, gripped tightly in Plantagenet's hand as he steps toward the research room. Its surface bears faint tool marks and surface grime, reflecting the harsh overhead lights of the colony corridor. Plantagenet keeps the crowbar concealed along his leg until entering, only revealing it when tensions reach their peak—seconds before his sudden collapse. The sight of the improvised weapon escalates the confrontation between colony members, turning what should be a scientific inquiry into an immediate crisis of trust and survival.

Before: Heavy steal crowbar, roughly two feet long with hooked end, gripped concealed along Plantagenet's leg during entry.

After: Discarded near Plantagenet’s fallen form; no longer relevant as he lies helpless instead of asserting dominance.
